It's Nice To Meet You
Hello there and thank you for visiting my web page – let me introduce myself. My name is Clare and I live in Cheadle Hulme, a small village in South Manchester with my husband, daughter and new addition a lively Springer Spaniel.
I have worked in the Travel Industry for almost 20 years in both Leisure and Corporate and honestly cannot imagine working in another industry.
I started as a Leisure Travel Consultant for a large high street chain which specialised in Tailor-Made itineraries but I soon realised that no matter where the dream I wanted to be the one to make it come true. This could be a UK Staycation, a weekend city break, annual week or two in the sun or a bucket list dream trip. I excelled in building long trusting relationships with my clients that saw them return again and again.
I moved over to Corporate Travel following the birth of my daughter and used those tools of building relationships with my clients to ensure long lasting partnerships. There is no trip small or large or component of the trip that I cannot organise for your business.
I am excited to be part of the Travel Counsellors family as this will enable me to offer a truly flexible and independent service. I understand that not all travel can be organised during the typical 9-5 so I am her 24/7 365 days a year.
Travel is still my addiction and I feel blessed to have visited so many wonderful countries across the globe. I am currently at 42 countries and try to add a new one each year. I often get asked where is my favourite place and whilst it is difficult New Zealand certainly is a stand out country and it is my aim to get back there with my family one day.
With my extensive experience and destination knowledge I look forward to working with you to give you the best Travel Experience.

Why use a Travel Counsellor
Let's plan your dream trip together
Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call. I’ll listen to your thoughts and ideas like I would a friend and arrange accommodation, activities, and flights that are all personalised to you. And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
Stress-free travel, and more time for what matters most
I believe your time away should be stress-free, easy, and seamless from start to finish. So, I take care of all the details for you - from ATOL protection, insurance, and flexible payments to access to the myTC app, which keeps everything in one place.
Support when it matters most
If the unexpected happens, you can rest easy, knowing that I’ll handle any last-minute changes, flight cancellations, or disruptions before you even pick up the phone. So you always feel happy, carefree, and ready to make the most of every moment.
